Eggplant stew with ground beef is a Turkish home-style dish in which eggplant is simmered with minced beef and vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers and onions. It belongs to the broad family of Turkish türlü, or mixed-vegetable stews, and recipes vary with the season and the cook.
It is usually served hot as a main meal, with rice, bulgur or bread; plain yoghurt makes a fresh accompaniment. The vegetables contribute fibre, while the beef adds protein: a 100 g portion has 6.2 g of protein. For a lighter meal, use a measured amount of oil and serve it with a crisp salad rather than adding extra bread.
